Indy swimmers bring home medals in Junior Pan Pacific Championships

Indiana teenage swimmers won four more medals, including a second gold by Carmel's Amy Bilquist, in the Junior Pan Pacific Championships late Thursday night at Kihei, Hawaii.

Indiana has two individual gold medals, as many as all other countries combined, and would rank third with seven medals if it were a separate nation. The United States leads the medal count with 14 golds and 25 total. Japan has nine medals and Australia seven.

Carmel's Chris Plumb, an assistant coach for Team USA, said in a text message that Bilquist had a "great response" after finishing sixth in the 100 freestyle. Her time of 56.07 was far off her best of 54.85. Bilquist has a chance for more medals in the 50 freestyle and two other relays.
